Join Anna and Alf in this video as they visit VALLE CRUCIS ABBEY in LLANGOLLEN, NORTH WALES UK which is a TRULY WELSH MAJESTIC MEDIEVAL ABBEY as Anna teaches about its history from when it was FOUNDED IN 1201 by PRINCE MADOG AP GRUFFYDD ( the PRINCE OF POWYS ) and THE WHITE MONKS OF THE CISTERCIAN ORDER, until it was CLOSED DOWN IN 1537 DURING KING HENRY V111 OF ENGLANDs DISSOLUTION OF THE MONASTERIES and its connection to ELISEGS PILLAR, LINK TO OUR VIDEO OF ELISEGS PILLAR -    • ELISEGS PILLAR - Princes Of Wales 9th...  

It was the last of the 14 Cistercian foundations to be built in Wales and has the ONLY SURVIVING MONASTIC FISHPOND IN WALES.

It's Latin name ( Valley of the cross ) refers to the nearby 9th century Pillar of Eliseg / Elisegs Pillar which stands nearby to this ABBEY.
The pillar is some 500 years older than the abbey and as mentioned above if you are interested we have a video of the Pillar ( link above) where Anna teaches about the connection between the two .
